Credit Limit Question

Does SAP store Credit limit Deviation or does it calculate on the fly. If so what documents are taken into account when determining if the customer is over the credit limit?
Thank you
Chintan

Hi Chintan,
There is a report called 'Customers Credit Limit Deviation' under Business Partner Reports. If you want to see what is included in the credit/commitment level calculation, go to the Help (F1) file - it explains it in detail.
You can also set so a warning comes up if a user posts a transactions that affects the credit/commitment level - go to Admin / General Settings / BP tab to activate this warning.

Customer Has Exceeded Credit Limit Question

Hi
At the moment when we raise an order for a customer with a credit limit it appears a warning message saying that the customer has exceeded his credit limit.
This information is a bit misleading if the customer has yes exceeded his limit but only because the outstanding invoices are not due yet ie the Due Date may be 31st May 2010.
Is there a way to combine the two information and inform the SAP user when the payments terms for invoices have been exceeded, not just the credit limit?
Thank you.

Hi Matthew ,
Both the thing are different :
1. Credit Limit is only for the Alert or you can block the further transaction .
2. Next you are talking about the Aging report for the outstanding payments .
So both having different aspects , you can not directly combine the both. But if you want then you can use some reporting tools .
Thanks

Credit Limit Check - Exclude Specific Documents / Credits from Exposure

Hi,
I would like to know if it's possible to exclude specific document types (credits) from the credit exposure calculation used during credit limit checks.
The ideia is to exclude "DG" credits in customer GL that are related to Trade Deal/Agreements to avoid over-exposure.
Let me explain:
Currently, our credit management is configured to "Static" + "Open Items" for all credit groups in the CCA. Therefore, SAP calculates the credit exposure as:
          CE = OPEN ORDERS (S066) + OPEN DELIVERIES (S067) + OPEN BILLING (S067) + OPEN ITEMS (BSID)
Regarding "Open Items", I understand that SAP calculates the net value between all debits (receivables) and credits (returns, overpayments, etc...) already posted and not cleared in the Customer GL account. This rationale is correct since the credits are due to the customers and should be deducted from their exposure (i.e. "you may not pay them if you don't receive").
However, in our case, we also pay trade deals contracts (i.e. trade incentives and trade marketing investments) directly to costumers and apart from sales orders or credit memos. The flow is the following: (1) contracts are managed on a satelite system and interfaced to SAP; (2) contracts are created in the costumer GL as a credit (doc. type "DG"); (3) credits are sent to accounts payable for payment via F110.
Problem is that, contract credits volume is significant and are impacting customers credit exposure and limit check, resulting in greater exposure than allowed. That is, orders are being released while contract credits are open in the customer GL up to the max exposure, but when contracts are paid the exposure goes above the limit. For example:
Day 1:
          Costumer Credit Limit: 100
          Sales Balance: 30
          Open Itens: 50 (receivables: 70 / contracts: -20)
          Credit Exposure: 80/100
Day 2:
          Costumer Credit Limit: 100
          Sales Balance: 50
          Open Itens: 50 (receivables: 70 / contracts: -20)
          Credit Exposure: 100/100 (no additional orders are released)
Day 3:
          Costumer Credit Limit: 100
          Sales Balance: 50
          Open Itens: 70 (receivables: 70 / contracts: 0 - contracts are paid on day 3)
          Credit Exposure: 120/100 (exposure is above customer limit since contracts that were being deducted were paid)
Any ideas or thoughts? Is something wrong in the explanation above? Should contracts credits be treated through special GL?
Many thanks!

Hello Julie,
the 2nd, System behavior (how do you interact the credit limit check (yes/no question) via DI?)
Workaround:
Before you issue the Document, you may do a manual check: BP balance againt Credit Limit, and make deceision.

Both Credit Limit and L/C are not working in Sales Order

Dear All,
We are working on Export scenario where order are created based on L/C and Credit Limit. In my scenario both credit Limit and L/C check is not happening please suggest.
I have created a sales order with value is 1024.00 INR. (My Credit Price is 1024.00 INR)
Customer credit Limit is 50.00 INR. (In FD32)
My L/C value is 1000.00 INR (In VX11N).
I have Implemented Dynamic Check and Assigned L/C to Sales Order. During Order process system blocking the order through Dynamic check. As per the above value System should not block the order. But System blocking the order. When I check Header -> Billing -> Financial Document Log, System showing the value update error. Its comparing entire Netvalue of the Order(1024) with L/C value (1000). How it is possible.
My requirement is system should consider both Credit Limit and L/C value. Please suggest.
Thansk & Regards

No reply received from any body. But there is limit to post the questions to post another one. I am closing this.
Thanks & Regards

Credit Limit based on customer and material?

Hello Gurus,
I've 2 diff types of goods..
1) fast moving/ selling goods
2) slow moving goods.
For a particular customer, I've assigned certain credit limit of say 10,000 EUR via FD32.
My question is, for the slow moving goods or one particular material/certain goods, I want to have higher limit--is it possible to configure to assign credit limit per customer/ material?
Rgds,
Raghu.

Hi,
As preceding answer, it's not possible in standard SAP.
The credit check is on the totallity of sales order, not by item.
If you are in the same sales order different materials, what is the reaction of system ?
But, you have different options to check this :
- Exclude material in credit check (according to material group for example) by using requirement in OVA8.
- Create a new condition type to check the credit limit in Ztable for customer/material. When you create sales order, a message is displaying according to your configuration (or blocking status for item).
You can compare Ztable (credit limit for customer/material) and another table for open orders.
Just an idea.

Lionel

Advance payment can not be used against credit limit and another sales ord

Hi,
I have advance payment scenario where customer want advance payment cannot be used against another sales order and against any credit limit.
Let me put one example.
Customer X is having credit limit of 1000 USD, if my client is received customized product order then he will take advance for this special order but customer X is already enjoying credit limit of 1000 USD. In this scenario my client wants advance payment received cannot use against any sales order and against any credit limit.
If I will post advance payment in F-29 then customer credit exposure will decrease against credit limit in FD32 which will affect normal sales order credit limit. Here customer does not want to utilize advance payment against credit limit of customer which is use for normal sales order.
Please suggest

Hi,
You can use the SAP standard documentary payment management functionality together with credit management for this purpose. You need to configure Documentary payments in SAP first. For that see below link;
[Documentary payments|http://www.learnsaptips.com/2011/09/how-to-handle-letter-of-credit-in-sap.html]
Then the advance payment has to be created as a financial document in SAP. This is just a SD only document and no impact to FI. During sales order creation you can assign this document number in to your sales document. It is possible to add it to sales order header as well as to individual line items.
If the attached financial document is sufficient to cover the value of the total sales order (If you attached to header) or value of the line item (If you attach it to a line item), system will NOT take that value for credit exposure calculation.
As far as I understood from your question, this is exactly what you're looking for.
Best regards,
Anupa

Customer Credit Limit from Oracle Financials to SAP

Friends,
SAP has to receive the Customer credit limit data from Oracle Financials. Can any one help me what idoc / bapi should i use for this inbound process.
If the question is not clear , please let me know.
Regards
Raj

Hi there,
In WE20, check if there is Oracle system defined as Logical system in your company. If yes, then click on the logical system. It will display the details.Check in the inbound parameters what message types are assigned for that system.
If Logical system is not defined for Oracle, then we need to define 1.
I guess message type is CRESTA. Not sure.

Issues of Credit Limit

#1
I already setup my credit management. It seems to work well because when I create sales and bill it, I can see that it has reflected to FD32 (credit window). My problem is, how can I make this window (see [image|http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/h336/809836724/sd/credit_limit_popup.jpg]) appear on sales order, before finishig the entire document? pls guide me how to make it appear.
#2
I have problem about the sales order and credit limit. when i do Vl01N, it says that this error (see [image|http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/h336/809836724/sd/credit_0002.jpg]). I am pretty sure that it has not exceeded the credit limit because I checked FD32. but why it is appearing? How to resolve this?
The only time I could get passed to it is when I release it from VKM1.
Please help

Hello Anwar,
For question 1:
In the sale order screen, follow the menu: Environment --> Partner --> Display Credit account.
this will show the details which you have requested. Does this meet your requirement?
For question 2:
There could be overdue open items or oldest open items or any critical fields (like payment terms) may have been changed manually.
Could you please update the settings that you have maintained in OVA8?
That will help us to direct you in right way.. thank you
Venkatesh

Credit Limit for SalesOrder

Here is my problem description:
Please forgive me if this is not the right forum or this is solved earlier. Pl guide me in these cases.
I am trying to solve this problem from external program, so I can use only remote enabled RFCs/BAPIs.
The problem is this. I want to be able to simulate Sales Order from Credit Checking point of view.
I don't want to save order but want to know if credit check would pass if I saved the order.
I am able to get error "Credit limit exceeded" in the GUI with all correct settings, but when I call BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2 it does not give any error
for the credit limit.
I have not even tried simulate because the BAPISALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2 itself does not fail.
Any settings or parameters to be supplied for causing credit limit checking thru BAPI ?
Thanks in advance...

Any one else can help ?
If you do not know the correct answer and still answer, the question gets hidden from other potential help.

Product Upgrade & Credit Limit Increase with Capital One

Upgraded my Platinum Master Cards, I have two, to a QuickSiver Rewards an requested a credit limit increase online only received 500.00 so I sent an email to the Executive Office. I waited two days received no responce so I called today this is what happened. Spoke to a gentleman who said he would be my personal credit specialist today I told him that I had upgraded the cards for the rewards and the Visa signiture benefits and requested to increase the limits to 5,000.00 on each. He told me that I had just been given a credit limit increase and he could do nothing for me. After getting no were he offered to let me speak to his suppervisor. Spoke to the suppervisor and ended the call with the same results, she will have someone else call me within 10 days. My question is this the norm has this happened to others. The number I called was one I found here in the forum. I have had both cards for over 6 years and have always paid them on time just never used them much because of the low limits. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Any information would be greatly appreciated. The number you got on this forum used to be their Executive Office, but now staffed by regular customer service people, who are no different than your chat or phone customer service. Your hope is to get official response from the email you sent to the EO. You need to wait 1-2 weeks, not days. They have to assist a large number of customers and they are not as big a team as the customer service people. My Cap One card started as a Plat with $500 limit a little more than 2 years ago and now it is at $8k and upgraded to a QuickSilver. Also as others mentioned, you can use the new "Combine cards" tool to combine your multiple small limit cards to a larger, more useful limit.

Billing - Representing the customer's credit limit and premitted products

Dear All,
We intend to implement SAP CRM billing model in our system.
Currently we have 2 fundamental questions we need to solve:
1) How to represent the customer credit limit.
2 ) What is the best way to indicate his permitted products
As we operate in the energy and gas industry. An example for usage scenario might be :
The customer can use euro un-leaded fuel up to daily limit of 50 Liters,
and up to a monthly limit of 1000 Liters.
He can also buy 3 specific motor oils types with his loyalty card.
We need a standard way to represent those restrictions our system,
later the billing model will have to take them into account.
Please Advice.
Thank You,
David Tal

Dear Debashish
As per my understanding, this is because the credit limit check is always applicable at 2 levels only i.e. Sales Order and Delivery.
u r talking about Open Billing Doc and Open Items, but this is also covered within Open Sales Orders and Deliveries, isn't it?
Hope this will help u.

Credit limit partly used but credit block applied

Hello,
in FD 32 for sold to party, the credit limit used is just 40% but in sales order, we still get the credit block !
1) what is the reason for the same ? How should this be analysed or corrected ?
2) Is it possible that credit limit is partly used but we still get the credit block on sales order based on other credit checks settings like "maximum" document value reached, critical field check etc (all these defined in automatic credit control in OVA8 T code )
regards
Pamela

Dear Pamela
1) what is the reason for the same ? How should this be analysed or corrected ?
CHECK_CM
You can understand why this document is blocked , what is the reason
2) Is it possible that credit limit is partly used but we still get the credit block on sales order based on other credit checks settings like "maximum" document value reached, critical field check etc (all these defined in automatic credit control in OVA8 T code )
Please look in to Google once before asking such a basic questions
Thanks a lot

Risk class calculation and credit limit

in SPRO, is there any setting we can define how to calculate risk class?
in credit segment data, limit is defined as 3000000 USD, but in BP (change mode), credit limit still grey out. so how to change credit limit?
I have open order 20 USD, open invoice 30 USD, open delivery: 50 USD, down payment :70 USD, final incoming payment: 80 USD
what's my credit exposure? also how is credit exposure % defined?

A few questions here
What is your credit exposure - it is something that you can configure. You can confirm what you want to include and exclude (credit horizons etc). You also need your PI jobs set up to transfer both SD and FI data into SAP FSCM Credit Management so it is up to date.
%age of credit exposure is linked to the Credit Limit - a simple calc between the current exposure and the credit limit (segment)
Risk Classes are defined in the Master section of SPRO for Credit Management (SAP FSCM)
